Paragraph: When a metal rod MM is dipped into an aqueous colourless concentrated solution of compound N\mathrm{N}, the solution turns light blue. Addition of aqueous NaCl\mathrm{NaCl} to the blue solution gives a white precipitate O\mathrm{O}. Addition of aqueous NH3\mathrm{NH}_3 dissolves O\mathrm{O} and gives an intense blue solution.Question: The metal rod⁡M\operatorname{rod} M is

Options

  1. AFe\mathrm{Fe}
  2. BCu\mathrm{Cu}
  3. CNi\mathrm{Ni}
  4. DCo\mathrm{Co}

Correct answer

B. Cu\mathrm{Cu}

Step-by-step solution

Appearance of blue colour on addition of the metal rod MM to the solution of NN is an indication that metal may be Cu\mathrm{Cu}. Later formation of white precipitate on addition of NaCl\mathrm{NaCl} and dissolution of this precipitate in aqueous ammonia confirm that while preipitate is of AgCl\mathrm{AgCl}. This implies that the solution NN is of AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO}_3. This confirm that the metal MM is only Cu\mathrm{Cu}.
